Hello, everyone~
I hope you'll be able to help me figure out my problem! I'm trying to fix my dad's computer. Yesterday, while he was on the internet, the computer suddenly showed a screen that said, "Kernel_Data_inpage_error 0x0000007A" ftdisk.sys address F8511642 at F8507000
(I have no idea if the address info helps, but I figured I'd post it anyway.)

When I try to reboot the computer, it won't go into Windows even in safe mode... it just says Disk Boot Failure. I pulled out my XP CD to try to do a repair with chkdsk, and I got it to boot from disk and get it into the Recovery Console, but it keeps freezing up at various points during the process.

I don't know what to do. I'm wondering if any of you can give me some pointers...

The OS is Windows XP Home
The computer is one I built myself - it has a Maxtor 120 GB hard drive.

Thanks!!
Christa
